    - you have been successful in other things in life.
    - you have what it takes.
    - you find the job that suits your needs.

    You might just make it as a new driver if you have above average patience.

    You might just make it as a new driver if you have things to keep yourself occupied during down time. It's not as easy as it sounds!!!

    You might just make it if you don't get bored after driving across N.M. 114 times. Or lining up at the consignee behind 47 other trucks, staring through the windshield, for 6 hours past your appointment time, and your next pick-up appointment is 250 miles away 4 hours from now, and you need fuel and a washout, and a shower, and a meal, and need to fax in something to get paid, and it's Friday, and a snow storm is coming, and the consignee seems to take a lot of breaks, while you wait, wait, wait and get madder and madder.

    You might make it as a new driver if you can always show at least 1 foot of butt crack, smell like a dumpster, whine about the time of day and chuck a jug of urine out your window at least every 3 miles ! :snorting:

    I am just kidding everyone just couldnt resist :biggrin_25525:
